SemiAnalysis says Anthropic is on track to top $1 billion in profit in the third quarter of 2026, while a widely shared X post from @zephyr_z9 highlighted another eye-catching part of the forecast: Anthropic processing 5 quadrillion API tokens per month in June and 13 quadrillion by December. The same SemiAnalysis post also argues Anthropic could become the first $6 trillion company, which helps explain why the numbers landed less like a routine analyst note and more like a stress test for the AI bull case.
